In the first half, author and investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts provided an update on the current state of the economy in terms of the surging stock market, debt, and commodities. People should plan for different financial scenarios as well as natural disasters so they can navigate those situations if they arise, she suggested. Many different parts of the economy are being collapsed or "composted," which in turn props up or feeds other sectors, she explained. One of the biggest problems on the planet right now is the significant debt load, with the developed world becoming as highly leveraged as many of the western countries, Fitts remarked.

Janet Yellin, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, says she's raising interest rates in the fall. This will bring up the cost of the dollar, just as commodities earnings are plunging, and the United States is going to "jerk the leash all around the world," increasing the gap between who can afford the rates, and those who can't, Fitts cautioned. Unfortunately, the assault on the middle class is not over-- we have more automation and globalization coming, she continued, but those who are inventive, adaptive, and versatile with new technology can manage to do well.

In the latter half, author, seer, and astropsychologist Dr. Louis Turi returned to discuss his insights, communications with ETs, and what events he sees on the near horizon. While he uses astrological software to craft his predictions on trends and events, he has in recent times been channeling messages from a benevolent ET named Draco, which Turi claims has allowed his level of accuracy to reach new heights (more info). He described being visited by the FBI after he shared multiple terrorism warnings with the Gendarmerie Nationale in France for several days before the Charlie Hebdo attacks, and the FBI was initially suspicious of how he acquired this information.

In October 2015, we are reaching the end of the fiery dragon cycle, and entering a Neptunian cycle which is associated with bodies of water, flooding, poisonings, and drownings, he announced. Turi shared specific keyword predictions for August, which can occur in a 48-hour window centered on the dates below:

• August 7th: terrorism, police brutality, crazy killers
• August 11th: natural disaster forcing thousands to relocate
• August 15th: earthquakes above 6.0, shocking news, cosmic phenomena/NASA in the news
• August 21st: Russia, North Korea, China, stock market, cyber attacks, many deaths
• August 28th: tornadoes, hurricanes, quakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, Japan in the news, and an aeronautical disaster
